Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 +1/4 = 8/12 + 3/12= 11/12

11/12 - 1/2 = 11/12 - 6/12 = 5/12 less

When you divide a whole number by a decimal less than 1, the quotient is greater than the whole number. Why?

LuckyWell [14K]

1 can be interpreted as a "whole" thing, and smaller than 1 is a part of a thing.

imagine: if you have some cakes and you count the number of cake pieces, those will be more than the number of cakes: as each cake will have more than one piece! (otherwise it wouldn't be called a piece!)

so the result of a division by a fraction is bigger than the original number, there are more parts than wholes in the results, as each whole has multiple parts!

for example: divide 3 cakes into pieces which are 1/4th of a cake. how many such pieces would there be? 12! more than the 3 original cakes;

is this possible to understand? tell me if not!

Write an equation for each linear function described. Show your work. The graph of the function passes through the point (2,1),

svp [43]

Step-by-step explanation:

As

The graph of the function passes through the point (2,1), and

y increases by 4 when x increases by 1.

so

and so on

From the table:

$\mathrm{Slope\:between\:two\:points}:\quad \mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(2,\:1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(3,\:5\right)$

$m=\frac{5-1}{3-2}$

$m=4$

As the slope-intercept form of the line is

$y=mx+b$

putting m=4 and any point, let say (2, 1) to find y-intercept 'b'.

$1=\left(4\right)2+b$

$8+b=1$

$8+b-8=1-8$

$b=-7$

So putting $b=-7$ and $m=4$ in the slope-intercept form of the line

$y=\left(4\right)x+\left(-7\right)$

$y=4x-7$

Therefore, the equation for the linear function will be:

$y=4x-7$

A bag contains 4 red marbles, 3 white marbles, and 7 blue marbles. You pick a marble without looking. Find the probability of dr

astra-53 [7]

The probability of drawing a white marble = $\frac{Number of white marbles}{Total number of Marbles}$

∴ the probability of drawing a white marble = ³/₁₄

A rug is shaped like a rectangle whose perimeter is 276276 ftft. the length is 5 times as long as5 times as long as the width. f

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Width = w

Length = 5w

Given,

Perimeter = 276 ft

5w * w = 276

w² = 55.2

--- w = 7.429670248402684 ≈ 7.43 ft

--- l = 5w = 5*7.43 = <span>37.14835124201342 </span>≈ 37.15 ft
